Vital Signs
CTC have recently completed the delivery of 4 cohorts of Vital Signs Training to staff who work within a number of Care Homes in Stewartry. This was a partnership project between CTC and Stewartry Health & Social care partnership. This included developing competency in obtaining and recording BP, Pulse, Respirations and temperature , as well as Urinalysis and Blood sugar monitoring . The course built on existing knowledge of staff allowing them to develop confidence and competence in obtaining Vital Signs .
We hope this will enhance the care provided to those people living within the residential care sector to deliver positive outcomes and ensure that the care needed is delivered at the right time and in the right place . The staff involved were enthusiastic and participated really well in the training sessions . CTC hope that this training can be rolled out to other localities within D&G . If you are interested in participating in similar training please contact us …
